PDF<\/a><\/p>\n

or solve online<\/a> (using SudokuPad)<\/p>\n

Theme:<\/b> Rounding Error<\/p>\n

Author\/Opus:<\/b> This is the 105th puzzle from Clover, part of the Genuinely Approachable Sudoku (GAS<\/a>) team.<\/p>\n

Rules:<\/b> Standard Sudoku<\/a> rules: Insert a number from 1 to 9 into each cell so that no number repeats in any row, column, or bold region. The number clues given between pairs of cells indicate the tens digit of the product of the numbers in those two adjacent cells. (For instance, two adjacent cells containing 8 and 9 would have a clue of 7, since 8 \u00d7 9 = 72.)<\/p>\n

GAS Time Standards (highlight to view):<\/b> Two party hats (\ud83c\udfa9\ud83e\udd73): 7:00<\/span>; One party hat (\ud83e\udd73): 13:00<\/span>. All other solvers earn a \ud83e\udd95: spherical Shanag<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Thomas Hits the GAS (highlight to view):<\/b> 1:54<\/span>, with SudokuPad replay file<\/a> shared as a download for now (requires loading via settings menu with improvements expected before people should use this regularly).<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/b> PDF<\/a> and solving video<\/a> with explanation from GAS team.<\/p>\n
